Benefits of technology

The patent describes a floor covering that surrounds a furniture item on two or three sides. This covering can be a single piece of material or multiple pieces joined together. The floor covering can also be a carpet that surrounds the furniture on a floor surface. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a unique and customizable way to surround furniture with a floor covering that is both visually appealing and practical.

Problems solved by technology

In particular, installing and removing floor or surface coverings, such as area carpeting, typically require heaving lifting or specialized equipment for installation and removal.
Further, traditional small floor coverings are merely used over existing floor or surface areas for covering stains or worn areas, and do not surround furniture, especially large pieces of furniture.
